Verizon! Where are my people?

Yikes! Verizon has failed me today. I was happily watching the Wedding Singer, putting off writing my speech, and all the while my phone was searching for service. Now, on a normal day, this wouldn't bother me. Because if a phone call is important enough, they'll leave a message, right? Today is not a normal day. My sister Hannah left for Kenya today. I said goodbye to her yesterday, but she was going to call and talk to me a little bit before she left...IF MY PHONE HAD SERVICE, that is. Unfortunately, I missed both of her calls and now she is flying over the Atlantic Ocean towards her layover in Amsterdam before she gets to Kenya tomorrow. I'm fairly annoyed that my Verizon people left me in a dead zone. I mean, for all those commercials, you'd think I'd be safe anywhere! Wrong. My apartment last year had the same problem. Maybe I should give those Verizon folks a call and have them come cover Clemson.

In other news...no more procrastinating...off to write my speech.

Tour de France

Spin class was hilarious today. For those of you who don't know, spin class is a 45 minute class on stationary bikes led by an instructor who tells us when to "turn up the resistance" and "get out of the saddle and into a climb" which basically means stand up on your pedals. It's pretty intense and I get a good workout. Usually the class is led by two 20something girls who pick a lot of fun songs to spin to. Today, however, we were led by a 65 year old creepy old man. He looked like Santa Claus (minus the belly) and acted like he was training for the Tour de France (thanks to Kelly for that image in my mind.) We listened to all '60s music, which he had picked "especially" for the workout. We listened to everything from the Beach Boys to the Righteous Brothers. I must say the older generation in the spin class was quite amused. The best part (well there were several best parts) was that he had comments about every song...like how it brought him back to the "early college years" and how we needed to run away from "Runaround Sue." The man was nuts. We also listened to a song about about "The Devil in the Blue Dress." Tour de France said that he only had one question for that devil in the blue dress, and that was "Do you have a number?" The guy is like a 65 year old sleezeball. And quite hilarious I must say! Needless to say I was glad when the 45 minutes was up and we did our "speed stretching" as he called it. I'm glad I went today. :D

Fudge and Cupcakes

Well, I haven't written in about a week, mostly because I'm busy busy busy with school and Navs and Joshua Team.

But what I'm writing about is far more amusing than anything in my own life!

My roommate, her boyfriend and her boyfriend's roommate are all in the apartment kitchen as I type this. Making fudge and cupcakes. At the same time. Mind you, the two males are engineering majors (who follow all of the directions!) and my roommate is a giggly psych major, who claims to have never made a cake without her mother. I wish I could sneakily take a picture of the kitchen right now and the chaos that is going on in the 4" x 4" kitchen! There is an argument right now if fudge that includes marshmallow creme is real fudge.

I think what's really funny is just the fact that the two over 6' boys are in the kitchen, jostling around for counter space.

I'm afraid the apartment might burn down...time to take my stuff and get out of here ;)

So it begins...

So, I've never blogged before. Seems like it could be fun. I suppose I'll just put some interesting happenings from my day down.

1. I was returning from putting my laundry in the dryer when a man on a moped carrying a bag of trash wearing a ski mask zipped past me - enough to make me smile!
2. Watching The Office tonight made me actually laugh out loud.
3. A friend of mine let me borrow her camera. That totally rocks.
4. I realized that I do not, in fact, have a green thumb, because my "lucky bamboo" is dead.
5. I found an Alaska quarter and have put it in a special place to give to Kevan when he gets back.

Maybe one day I'll have more interesting things to say.

Oh and a random spiritual thought:
What would my life look like if I truly laid my requests before the Lord every morning and then waited in expectation? (Psalm 5:3)
